I´ve been reading this forum for 3 days and searching for all informations needed to root my SGS4 I9505. I have already followed the threads http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40819876 and also read ChainFire´s thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2219803
I have also tried to use the SGS4 toolkit found in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192841
I have tried different versions of Odin (v 1.85, v 3.07, v 3.04) and did not get success. It seems that it is write protected some way, since when in download mode, the last line in the left superior edge shows "Write Protection= Enable"
I attached the messages from Odin (same messages in all versions of Odin). I tried to install the PIT file alone as well, but also another error message comes, also saying that the complete (write) operation failed.
My firmware version is AP,CP: I9505VJUBMG3 and CSC: I9505ZTOBMG3
I will really appreciate any help to root my phone.
Hello guys,

qazmed, I have also tried to flash only the CF-auto-root file without the PIT file, with only auto-reboot and f.reset time checked, but it did not work too. Anyway, I´ll try to flash my original stock version again and then try again to flash the CF auto-root according to a hint from samersh, as soon as I finish to download it (1.5GB!!). thnx!

Hi, tried to flash stock rom with pit file, both with re-partition unchecked and checked and did not succeed. In the first case, the failure message from Odin is "There is no pit partition" and in the second case, the failure msg is "Complete (write) operation failed!"
It seems to have a kind of "write protection" that does not allow Odin to flash... Does anyone have heard anything about this???
I am having the exact same problem as the guy that posted this thread!! Anyone may help please ?

Hi, I have just solved the problem and got to flash CF autoroot with Odin, by simply using the ORIGINAL USB CABLE ! Before this, I was using a diferent cable just bought with a cheap charger. It´s strange, because all usb cables have the same 4 wires, but it seems flashing process is very sensitive and probably the cheap cables insert unacceptable noise in the circuit loop...
Just found this info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2267107&page=2
Try it and I hope you get good results !!

Hi you all!
i have got a galaxy note,
i hade the Revo note hd v1 rom before, when there was a upgrade to 2.5 i downloaden with kitchenpro, and istalled the rom, after the reboot, the phone didnt start it only freeze att start.
but i could go to download mode.
now i´m trying to flash with odin 1.85 but it fails after factoryfs.img!!
triyd the latest original N7000_XXKL8,
and tryid N7000XBKK4_N7000OXXKK5_NEE
same problem, what can i do??
please help!!!
Why did you tick Re-Partition?
Before you flash everything (with pit, csc, modem and repartition), you should try to the most basic solution first: Flash stock ROM in PDA only.
download firmware at: http://fus.nanzen.se/
(from Hoffighter's posting) http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1350960
Download Check Fus Downloader 2.1, using the Check Fus Downloader, download Firmware N7000XXKL8 (Ibelieve it's for Germany). It will automatically decode the .enc2 file to.zip file
Extract the .zip file generated from decoding file to a folder and you will get
.tar.md 5 file.
open Odin3 1.85, attach the .md5 file to the PDA field on Odin.
(Leave pit, phone, and CSC blank, uncheck re-partition)
Go to download mode and click start on Odin.
If the above steps still fail you, than you can try other things.
but I believe your problem has nothing to do with Modem, pit, or partitioning.

I'm installing the new firmware but i had an issue with odin...
I flashed again 4.4.2 but in download mode, the last line you can see " UDC START" in colour red... Is this normal? I think the phone works good, but i don't know why put on this...
Anyone have this new line??
I have the same problem with a N9005 I guess it was Hong Kong version for the kanjis in the back, but is stuck in odin mode with the UDC START line
UDC Start info.
Ok gent's little more knowledge about "udc start" I am guessing that the problem became clear as you installed 4.4.2 KK.
So did I and came across UDC Start the second time I booted into download mode.
As I played around i became aware that the "UDC Start" mode locks the download loader to certain criteria. This would be 4.4.2 KK,
so anything under 4.4.2 will get a MASSIVE RED FAIL. That including the CWR/TWRP recoveries and ROOT files.
So just to specify, yes phone is now locked/bricked to 4.4.2 KK software only.
Therefore I would please like some help to get the udc start away!? If anyone can help.
If I shared some light to the darkness please say thanks.:good:
Try this out:
Worked for me on a Hong Kong 16GB N9005 which was stuck on the 'Samsung Galaxy Note 3' screen after getting a 'Invalid: ext4 image' or 'Repartioning failed' errors while installing 4.4.2 OFFICIAL (Single File ROM) via Odin.
Binary: Custom
Knox: 0x1
Method:
In Odin mode
1. Flash the latest cf-autoroot (Kitkat support) [http://download.chainfire.eu/352/CF-...x-smn9005.zip]
2. Flash the Chenglu's latest CWM - 6.0.4.6 (the one that supports KitKat) http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2454079
Download Sweet Rom and place it in ExtSDcard (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2487425)
I tried external sd-card with various format and could not install the ROM. After format my SD Card to FAT32, the ROM can be installed.
On Device
1. Boot in to Recovery mode by Volume up + Home + Power
2. Wipe Factory reset / Dalvik Cache
3. Format /System (under "mount and storage" menu) [IMPORTANT STEP]
4. Install Rom from SD Card
5. Say your prayer. You'll need it. (The installation could take sometimes. If the device screen shows Samsung boot animation, you're half way there)
How is that going to take away the udc start?
I have UDC Start in Odin/Download mode... It hasn't affected my flashing of custom ROMs nor Stock, everyone on KK has it.
Ok, but why if i try to install a previous version of TW rom 4.3 i get a massive fail?
But all the rest works?
Thanx in regards.

Because you are locked into the new Bootloader (NA6) and it's unable to downgrade
So I am guessing there is no way to downgrade the boot-loader without unlocking it?

There's no way full stop. Samsung have blocked downgrades within the bootloader itself.
Wow now that's some sort of a problem.
My 4.4.2 works but i love xposed modules to make everything transparent and as of yet kitkat does not support that.
And now i a stuck on 4.4.2..
But thanx for the assist.:good:

Hi. I have a unrooted SHV-E330 (I9506 to some) I was running the unrooted firmware and updating with Kies up until yesterday when the update to came up. I ran it as with every other update however on self rebooting the phone now goes to ODIN MODE (in red) and UDC Start (in red) i'm a root virgin and was happy with the phone running as it was AnTU TU score 36118 with the Korean bloatware running in the background. From what I have picked up after 4.3 firmware update to 4.4.2 there is no going back. I tired to root with earlier versions of firmware but get fail every time. I Picked up a zip SKT-E330SKSUCNA7 wich goes as far as checking the MD5 file successfully in Odin 3 v3.09. everywhere I look on the web it states the com box should be yellow however mine is blue.
After MD5 successful I get leave CS. I click start I get 'Get PIT for mapping. There id no PIT partion followed by a red box and the'FAIL!' box with 'all threads completed Failed 1.
I have never rooted a phone and a buff mentioned that I will not regret it. I figure thart i'm doing something wrong as there was no PIT file with the firmware.
On first trying a firmware recovery in Kies because the phone is stuck In ODIN MODE it will not recognise the phone even though the USB drivers are installed.
If their is a person out there that could talk me through rooting trough the stuck ODIN MODE I would appreciate contact.
I gather that I have no choice but to try ODIN MODE on phone as that's where the phone is stuck. Removing battery etc has been tried to death.

Your phone does not have a pit file on it. Odin downloads the pit file from the phone to make sure that all the partitions are correctly flashed.
Try ticking the 'Re-partition' box in odin while flashing. Though I don't really think it will help, because your single file ROM most probably does not contain the pit.
Your best bet is to find somebody else with the same model as you, and get a pit from them.
PS- You are in the wrong forums.

Hey thanks for the response the same day I managed to fix the problem a hour ago after 24 hours of banging my head on a wall.
I uninstalled all software including Odin remembering that ODIN MODE was the only option. most of the Boot Operating system was in Korean.
I followed a you tube guide from another root and noticed that although ODIN MODE and UDC start are new (according to other forums) that the other information insinuated that the screen I was looking at was also the download mode.
I reinstalled Kies and rather than asking me for the emergency recovery code it reset and was asking for the Model and serial number. After which it stated it could not recover the device only reinstall the stock firmware. I selected OK. the phone came back to life and reinstalled all data from cloud.
now on 4.4.2 and still thinking about rooting
however I must warn anyone that comes across the unlocker website that states its mod allows for E330S root. that clockwork mod does not cater for E330S.

Au contraire, I have done a lot of research on pit file and played around a lot. Check out my threads.
If you tick re-partition without having a pit, it just gives you an error. Maybe in the olden days, it might have been an issue (I haven't always been a Samsung guy), but definitely not now.

If so, then make sure they know which version of ODIN to use as this is the fastest way to kill a phone I know...
Right from the very first this was a cardinal sin but then you didn't have a phone anymore or much sympathy either... But to tell a noob to do this was in effect saying "put your phone in front of a steamroller, it'll be ok after its gone over it a couple of times"...

The different ROMs must have different pits. That would explain why only some specific ones work.
Anyway, congratulations.
Hi guys, I'm new to this site. I have a specific problem that I can't seem to find the answer for.
My phone: At&t Samsung Galaxy S4 (I made a typo in the title... )
Model: SGH-I337
I had MF3 version/4.2.2
I used various threads to eventually root my phone.
I was very happy.
I had to use safestrap
I was happy with safestrap
I had my stock in the stock rom slot
I had [ROM] Google Edition 4.3 [Clean][Deodex][276MB][2013.11.21] in first slot.
I was very happy with it.
Here is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47718525#post47718525
I made a stupid move when I was finally done, I had my phone rooted, I had everything I needed, but it wasn't enough...
I did something in the mount options area in safestrap.. switched my sd to internal memory
My phone has been in a boot loop ever since on Samsung Image
I had Slot 1 active when this happened.
When I'm in recovery mode, all the options, including wipe data/factory reset doesn't work
I tried using a pit file in Odin to fix/failed
I tried using Odin 3.09 with stock firmware I found in some threads to try and get factory/failed
I get this in Odin along with fail "All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)"
I really want to fix my phone.
Preferably I would like it to stay as mf3
Does anyone have a solution?
A link to a thread I missed?
Something more recent?
I also tried Kies, but it was giving me trouble, I'll try it again as a last resort.
I hope there's a solution.

The SW REV. CHECK FAIL : fused : 4, Binary : 2 error means you are trying to flash an earlier version than your phone had before. You'll need to flash the same version you were using before, either MK2 or NB1. You can find the ODIN TAR files for them in the General section.

Thanks for helping that guy out,
I have a question...
What ROM would you recommend for a 4.2.2 MF3 At&t Galaxy S4 SGH-I337?
I've been using the ROM found in here.
I am new to the rooted world.
It's the first ROM I tried and I love it.
I can go a whole day with, at most, losing 25% battery life.
I love the minimalist aspects of it.
I don't know how to keep track of new ROMs for my build though.
I don't really want to change ROMs at the moment, because I have everything I need with this one,
but if you can give me some cool advice, that would be awesome.
Any help, information, would be appreciated.

Having major issues with my note 4.
I rooted the device with CF and had no problem, I think tried to install the CWM recovery and kept getting a FAIL in odin.
Tried different USB ports, different cables and 3 different computers.
I read to try unrooting then flashing recovery and then root again.
Once I unrooted the phone was stuck in a boot-loop and I still can't flash anything to the phone, not even CF-Root now, just bombs out with a fail.
I think I might need to re-partition the device, but need a PIT file for the note 4 please. All the phone displays now is a picture of a phone a yellow triangle and a computer, I have tried connecting kies but it says the phone is not supported, maybe because it is a korean model.
Thank you in advance
Ok starting to get massively confused now.
I have managed to flash the original firmware back to the phone, I can now do this everytime without fail via odin
But I cannot flash CF-Root or CWM recovery, everytime I get a fail error, even though i was able to flash CF-Root the other day.
Anyone got any ideas please, thank you in advance
Right I have sussed it, reactivation lock was enabled, disabled this and all working fine

Hello everyone. Can anyone help me to solution problem. I have Note 4 SM-N910K after unsuccessful attempts firmware via Smart Switch. I got error and no successful firmware. And want to back., but get fail via odin. I think i need pit file. If someone have just put link please. Thank's for advance.
I recently received a Samsung Galaxy S4 from my friend as my old phone broke. When i got it, i tried to go into recovery mode and it didn't work and ended up in going in a boot loop. Every time i try and go on recovery mode it says "movinand checksum confirmation fail", so last night i decided to run Odin and flash new firmware on the device and every time i tried to flash it, it says "There is no PIT partition", so i looked around for some pits and i tried flashing them with the firmware, by themselves and i even changed to 3 different cords and when i do it keeps saying "re-repartition operation failed". I have spent way to long on this and i need help!!!
Have you tried using an original Samsung USB cable? Tried different USB ports?

I have tried all 5 ports on my Desktop computer with three different Cables.
What about using Odin 3.07? Tried flashing without a pit file? What happens when you try to enter recovery?

I have been using Odin 3.12, I will try with 3.07. I have tried flashing without a pit file and when I try to go into recovery mode it says "movinand checksum confirmation fail"
Where did you get the stock ROM? You are flashing the ROM as a single file in the PDA/AP slot?

I tried two different stock ROMS, 1st from sammobile (it was a Optus Australia Rom for GT-I9505) PA and another rom for Samsung Galaxy S4 with BL,PA,CP,CSC and neither of them worked. Yes i used the PDA/PA spot on both Odin 3.07 and 3.12

Well shame nobody can help i need device fixed soon, to be able to contact my manger.
Honestly, I don't think anyone can help here. You want to have a tech look at it, but I believe the flash memory may have failed. It would explain both why you can't get into recovery as well as why you get errors saying there is no pit partition and re-partition failed in Odin.

If the flash memory failed, that would explain a lot, Thanks for your insight
Either the memory is damaged or the pit file is not correct, or both.
Jtag may be the only solution.

Could you provide me with a correct pit File for "Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 Australia, Telstra"
And if that doesn't work i will learn about Jtag and try and perform it.
I'm not sure which pit would be correct as I don't have this phone. I am in Canada and this phone was not for sale here.

I have tried following that article a couple of times, yet the PIT they provided isn't for my region
Pit files are not usually region specific.

Well i have tried all available PITS file included here:
JFLTE_EUR_OPEN.pit
JFLTE_EUR_OPEN_16G.pit
9505.pit
CSB_signed_Fusion3_EUR_0325_V2.pit
None of them worked, so i don't know anymore might try a JTAG connection test (first time)
I get the exact same error in odin "there is no pit partition" when i try to flash Kitkat rom/ custom recovery/ root in odin.
Yeh, still haven't been able to fix my problem
hi.my phone was same problem.did you fixed your phone?
